More Reports of Mail Problems with the ISPs (Solution included)

I am again hearing chatter about delays, throttling, and deferrals at all the major ISPs. No one is reporting this yet, but my guess is it has to do with the upcoming elections. Along with paper mail and outbound phone calls, email is being sent at record levels. I have also seen a sizable push in early holiday emails, and as soon as the election is over holiday mailings will really start to jump up.

The take away here is that the ISPs are having a hard time with the increased mail volume. Your best course of action is to send your mailings out in smaller chunks. Schedule them to go out over a couple of days, or at least have 4 to 6 hour intervals between mailings.
